I totally spaced on commenting after I listened last night and I really would love a paperback coy of County Mouse/City Mouse (my kindle died and I haven't gotten another yet. I won't go into the horrible whining about withdrawal<br /><br />. 2. My favorite answer from the show was using Corbin Fisher. I would have never have thought to use porn as tax write off but I'm totally doing that, it's brilliant. <br /><br />3. The only fitting punishment for the person that decided the new charge machines were a good idea (or really the only punishment that comes to mind at this hour of the night since my short term memory shorted out again and I can't remember the magnificent tortures I thought of yesterday, bare feet and a sea of Legos spread all around his desk/chair/bed.

Giant puppet Llamas - oh I wish the illicit video had been in the suitcase as well.<br /><br />I love the fact you use moments from your life (and friends & family) in your books - maybe that is why the characters are so real. (Crick is still my favourite.)<br /><br />I also loved that your husband remembered you saying you were going to use the name Lane, it's the little things that add up. Anyone can buy flowers and chocolate (hey I love flowers and chocolate) but to remember something small like that. It says it all.<br /><br />I'd love to win a copy of Country MOuse/City Mouse as I ahven't actually read it yet, though it is on my TBR list.<br /><br />Lori xLorixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670131430773133958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-24401365938347108582013-08-09T22:48:31.035-07:002013-08-09T22:48:31.035-07:00Okay, your interview had some very interesting and...Okay, your interview had some very interesting and amusing moments, but I cracked UP at this moment when you were talking about the words used for activities and body parts.<br /><br />Paraphrasing to what my mind heard: "I like copulation as long as it's dry." BWAHAHAHAHAHA!<br /><br />Yeah, not exactly what you meant, not exactly what you said, but who wants non-fiction when fiction is oh so fun.<br /><br />Thanks for the laughs and for teaching me that you pronounce her last name as "Cah-may." <br /><br />I'm entertained and educated thanks to you. ;)<br /><br />Carolyn<br />caroaz [at] ymail [dot] comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-90921376170960860862013-08-09T15:39:01.362-07:002013-08-09T15:39:01.362-07:00You are so cute in your rantypants!

It took three of us old broads to convince the little dear that $7.40 out of ten did not leave $3.60.

I think said executive should be made to shop in Target stores and try to get the sales people to help him locate random items - sort of like a circle of Hell. I then think that executive should be made to read high school and beginning college students' English essays nonstop for a predetermined period of time.

That is always FUN. Especially now with the furloughs the Commissary is closed on Monday so the next day is PACKED! Usually about 30-45 min in line just to pay after you navigate the store and all the other shoppers who were born with no manners.

Yep. I think the o...Writer on the edge, for sure. <br /><br />Yep. I think the only truly elegant solution to your madness is to box up the soiled kid soaked clothing of doom and and send them straight to the target exec, who has been spending so much time with his head up his bosses' ass (and not in the 'oh, can I watch you play?' kinda way )- but in the oily, let me agree that your fucktard nephew's wife's brother's business refurbishing credit card machines left over from the soviet era when there were no years beyond 1999 and no pin codes beyond seven digits. So he'll deserve the off gasses that will incinerate his olfactory senses, tho that might be a plus in his world of corporate pucker. <br /><br />BTW - time to break out the sheep dip for the kid. Might help, or make his coat nice and shiny and suitable for knitting into a nice dog cozy. <br /><br />And by the way, I cry at just about everything you write - either tears of laughter at your beautiful characters or jealous at your beautiful talent, or tears of empathy at your terrible truths.<br /><br />And if I could have suggestions, I would have asked how you manage to knit two socks and have them come out the same length, and where do you shop for your stories because they are all so original and timeless and timely.<br /><br />And yes. Would love to have a copy of Country/City because I loved these guys and they didn't let the stupid get too irredeemably stupid, and the book gave me the courage to ask you for help and because you're so damn generous you gave it. <br /><br />Hope the stench fades.
